Overview

Chicago is often defined by its wild architecture, satisfying staples such as its famous deep dish pizza, and iconic sculptures like “The Bean” of Millennium Park. But how do you get from one attraction to another with ease? The Chicago “L”! With your included all-day pass in hand, you’ll receive a true local experience as we cruise from station to station on Chicago’s elevated train. You’ll learn how these tracks shaped the city, from its steam locomotive days to its current electrified system. Among the neighborhoods we’ll tour is the Chicago Loop, thronged with Chicagoans commuting to its financial, federal, and theater districts. We’ll stop at one of the oldest surviving stations on the L system as well as the impressive main hub of the Chicago Public Library. We’ll hop off the train to enjoy a small Local treat before boarding the L to explore more of Chicago’s history and enjoy some spectacular skyline views. And by the end of your tour, you’ll be an expert CTA rider!
